The result for Pheasey was declared earlier on a 42% turnout.

The result was as follows

Mike Bird – Conservative – 1782

Steve Grey – UKIP – 429

Jack Kelly – Labour – 1161

Christopher Newey – English Democrats – 216

Anne Willoughby – 104

Across the borough the Tories have lost overall control and balance of power now rests with the Liberal Democrats

As the Labour election agent I wish to thank our opponents for their good campaigning on issues and look forward to 2012
